The Rape Tunnel: Mankind's Greatest Social Experiment?


This simple wooden structure above, known as The Rape Tunnel - not to be confused with the now-discontinued, alleged New Orleans Rape Tunnel:



or the Lincoln Tunnel, which you can't drive through without getting fucked every time - could have been of one of the most controversial and thought-provoking social experiments ever created, instead it's just another run-of-the-mill internet hoax probably perpetrated by some douchebag artsy hipsters from Williamsburg. The plan is ingenious...you crawl through at your own risk, knowing full well that there is a psychotic, angry, rape-hungry maniac waiting on the other side in a dark room with no windows or doors. Think about it: If you make the conscious decision to enter The Rape Tunnel, then how can the act that occurs on the other side still be considered rape? By deciding to crawl through that tunnel, aren't you basically consenting to having sex...?


Anyway, the whole thing was fabricated: the interview, the artist and the works of "art" (including his previous stroke of genius, the Punch-You-In-The-Face Tunnel - I think you can guess how that one would have worked).


It's always good to see people pushing the envelope and testing the limits of what society can stomach. Too bad there isn't actually an artist who has the balls to pull something like this off.
